Makoto's Secret
By LostGryffindorLostSlytherin
And Sailor Draco
(chapter written by Draco)
A/N: Hey peoples! What is up? Anyway here is the next chapter of the story, this is the last prewritten chapter so please bear with me and my sister as we try to figure out how we're gonna do this. We kinda sorta lost the next two chapters a year ago…..quails Gomen! Oh and a side note the two girls that Makoto knows, Katherine and Fae? They are based on Draco and myself, so all the insaneness they possess are actually mine and hers!
2A/N: Makoto will from here on out will be known as Lita…until further notice, because it'll just confuzzle me too much, and I get confuzzled very easily.
3A/N: okay I lied. I did make some adjusting. I needed to! It was too childish (especially my partsTT).
Now on to the show!

Chapter 3- Reunited
Lita got out of the car with a rather large bump on her head, due to the fact she just hit it on the car door, and continued to stare at the house in awe.
It was beautiful!
The five story mansion was different than Lita remembered all the damage had been repaired, the windows shined, there was ivy hanging from trusses and it had a new coat of paint that seemed to sooth her. It looked like an old plantation house from Louisiana.
"This place is huge!" Lita exclaimed while rubbing her sore head. "I thought you were exaggerating before."
Anya laughed at her wide eyed pupil. "Just wait until you see the inside, child."
Lita turned to head toward the house when Anya stopped her and handed her a set of keys.
"I wanted to give you these before we go inside, child. They are keys to the house." She separated an old fashioned key from the others. "This one is the key to the front and back doors."
She showed the girl a key with a green star emblem on it. "This key is to your room on the third floor. When you enter the elevator you must put this key in the slot under the third floor button in order for it to let you in, and it is also the key to your room, so I advise you to not lose this. Alright?
"You, Katherine, and Fae have the entire third floor all to yourselves. I know you three and I know you will need the space." Anya smiled at the indignant look upon Lita's face.
"There is a study for you, filled with books I know you three enjoy, and with some new additions I believe you will need. There are computers, laptops of course, as the three of seem to hate regular computers…scanners, printers, digital cameras, a big screen television, a DVD player, a VCR, a fair collection of movies to watch, some nice furniture, and of course your training room, and bed rooms, with its own connecting bathroom. There are also several empty rooms that you three can use as you like, all your things are in your room."
Lita stared at Anya
mouth hanging open in awe.
"All that for us?" she squeaked.
Anya shrugged and for one second looked her age. "I just missed you girls very much."
Lita grinned. "Remind me to disappear again, so you can spoil us like this again."
Anya laughed. "Do not think this will happen frequently, child. As I need you three for teachers, I am indulging for you. Do not expect this often."
"I know, Anya. I'm just teasing." Lita beamed and hugged the old woman. "But what is the last key for?"
Anya smiled. "The last is a skeleton key. It shall open any and all doors on my land, our land; only the three of you have been entrusted with them. I myself do not have one. In my old age I am beginning to forget things and I am afraid I would lose these, so they are now yours."
"Thank you," Lita whispered, touched that Anya would trust them so much, Anya, who never trusted anyone.
But it also hurt, knowing her teacher was getting on with her years and couldn't trust herself with these keys.
Lita enveloped the key in her hand and looked her mentor in the eye. "I promise not to make you doubt that trust, Anya."
Anya smiled softly, "I know, child."
As they turned to go in Lita froze and said, "WHAT!"
They entered the old mansion with Anya giving some instructions on how to not get lost, and discussing the matter that she just recruited Lita as a teacher, to which Lita was forced to agree, she then showed the young Slayer the elevator, then left to deal with pressing matters.
Lita quickly entered the elevator, pressed the three, inserted the key into the appropriate place and was relieved to feel the thing go up. It stopped, and when the doors opened, Lita couldn't help but gasp, the place was huge! She walked out of the elevator, which quickly closed behind her, and looked around.
First there was the large living room (that was almost as big as her apartment!) that was painted a beautiful indigo with a chaise lounge chair, and a love seat, and three squashy chairs by the fireplace. A round table, surrounded by three chairs, stood to the side near the most beautiful kitchen Lita had seen in her entire life.
She smiled at the sight of the little coat stand by the closet, for she recognized it immediately. It was their coat rack that had as children, affectionately named Henry, and it made her feel more comfortable, that little stand made her feel she was home.
Doing more exploring, Lita found the training rooms and the empty rooms, and found herself facing three rooms, each with a different marking on the doors.
The Slayer knew which was hers immediately, as it had a rose imbedded into the wood, and once again took out her key and entered her new room and smiled wide.
The room itself was large, larger than her bedroom back home anyway, and the walls were painted a rich lovely dark green, with shelves built in. Her queen-sized bed (can't let her get a big head can we? ) was of oak with roses engrained into the headboard, and had green sheets and a fluffy crimson comforter (AN: its actually a nice combination, I have it on my bed!). Perched on top was a fluffy pink bunny, that sat lopsided, staring at her with amber eyes.
"Toby." She smiled and picked up the creature and squeezed it tight, as she passed her hand over her oak dresser with its large mirror that served as a bed for the golden faerie that remained perched upon it, and chair. She smiled as she stared at her roll top desk and
on the floor there was a rug that showed the planets and brought a smile to Litas face.
Lita then planted herself on her window seat and looked about her room and sighed hugging the rabbit close. She was home.
(AN: I would leave it like that….but you would all probably kill me…)
The elevator doors broke Litas' tranquil moment, as they dinged and opened. Curious to see if it was her friends she went out to the front room, Toby in tow, and was nearly knocked flat by two girls dressed in dark clothing.
"LITA!" the duo screamed, bouncing with joy or hyperactiveness, Lita couldn't decide.
"It's been SO LONG!" the blue haired girl whined. "We have so much to catch up on!"
"How have you been? Why haven't you called us!" the violet haired girl demanded. "We missed you."
"Katherine! Fae! I missed you guys, too. I'm sorry for not calling, guys." Lita laughed, as she cowered from the death glares from her friends.
"Alright. You're forgiven. But never do that again." Katherine stated firmly, shoulder length blue hair bobbing.
"Or we will have to send our pet radioactive jell-o butterflies after you." Fae added.
"Jell-o…but-ter-flies?" Lita stared at them. "You two have gotten even weirder than before."
"Thanks!" the girls chirped. They stepped back and looked the senshi over.
"You got taller." Katherine said.
Lita laughed. "Yeah. And look at you two! From preppy to Gothic, huh?"
"Yeah…I like this much better, much more…me." Katherine smiled as she flicked a strand of hair from her face.
She was attired in a long black skirt that held one long slit that stopped at the knee, and a crimson collared button up blouse, that was only half buttoned to reveal the black spaghetti strap she wore underneath.
Fae wore a medium length violet and black skirt and a wine colored top that had a low V neckline and belled out at the sleeves. A black rose rested in her violet hair, tucked behind her ear. Both girls had black lace chokers gracing their necks, and both wore old fashioned black lace up boots.
The two were twins, inseparable, and they were also Wiccans. Their family came from a long and powerful line that managed to survive the burning times. They were also slightly insane.
"So, I see you found your room okay, seeing as you found Toby." Fae said.
"How is it? Let me guess it's green!" Katherine exclaimed, laughing her head off.
Lita laughed with her. "Yep. Anya knows us all too well."
The twins nodded happily. "Yeah…"
"Come on, let us show you ours." Fae said.
Katherine's door was adored with a tear drop encircled by stars, and her room was painted a crimson red. The Ebony wood bed was engraved with tears and a lone dragon rested on her head board, while a faerie resided at the foot. The bedspread was crimson and her quilt was velvet violet with blue diamonds.
Her dresser was the same Ebony and matched Litas' in design, with one difference. Instead of the faerie, there was a golden dragon resting atop the mirror. Her room held the same designed desk and on the floor, her rug sat, with all the constellations woven into it.
Next was Faes, upon her door was a crescent moon with a star upon its tip. And like her twins and Litas rooms, it held a bed, a dresser-vanity with chair, a window seat, a desk and a rug. The differences were the walls were painted a deep violet, the bed, dresser, and chair made of cherry, the bed sheets matching the walls with a fluffy dark green comforter, and the bed being a canopy bed with deep blue/purple fabric for the canopy. And the creature gracing Faes' mirror was a unicorn rearing back on its hind legs. The rug was of the elements and their connection.
"I just love adjoining rooms, don't you?" Katherine sighed dreamily as she pointed to the cherry wood door that connected hers and Faes rooms. "Mine connects to yours too, Li." Katherine stated.
The three exited the rooms and gathered in the living room curled up in their perspective chairs, and sighed.
"Each room so similar, yet, so completely us." Fae smiled. "Anya does know how to do her work."
The other two giggled and agreed.
"Oh. We're taking one of empty rooms to practice our Wicca; it will have our altars and supplies in it. You'll know it by the protection runes we'll be making on the door." Katherine said.
"Great. It will be fun to join you in that again." Lita smiled.
"We still have your old altar if you want us to help you set up." Fae offered.
"You still have it? I've missed that thing." Lita sighed.
"Of course we do, silly! We would never throw out someone's special place. It's important to you and to us. We missed you practicing with us." Katherine said.
Lita nodded then looked to her room and shook her head, chuckling. "You know, guys, none of my old Slayer clothes are going to fit me. I've grown so much taller than I was in the old days."
The twins looked at each other with matching grins. "SHOPPING!"
They quickly dragged Lita to the elevator and went downstairs. When they reached the main floor they spotted a group of boys laughing quietly, coming down the stairs.
"Hey! No fair! Why do you guys get to use the elevator?" one of the boys whined.
"Because we're special." Katherine stated flatly.
"Why? You're just another group of Slayer to-bes like us." Another boy snorted.
"Boy Slayers?" Katherine looked stunned. "Whoa."
"That's what I said." Lita muttered. "I almost had a coronary."
"Yeah. We're the few but proud," The first one sniffed. "the first male slayers to actually be acknowledged and to be trained by the best."
"That's what Anya said." Lita sighed. "But too much pride can do you in, guys. And don't get too cocky about yourselves."
"I bet the Chosen Ones will be so impressed to meet male Slayers." One boy piped up.
"I don't think they will…Fae smirked as she looked to her friends.
"How would you know, newbies?" the second boy snorted.
"Correction, boys, we're not newbies, we are Slayers." Fae said.
"We are the Chosen Ones, to be specific kids, so get to work because we're not impressed and you better get your butts in gear 'cause the three of us will be running them through Hell as your new teachers." Lita said smugly. "I'm Lita, and those are the twins Katherine and Fae."
The boys stared at the trio and the twins stared at Lita, shocked.
"Teachers?" the group, plus the twins echoed.
"Yep. Anya wants the kids here to know how to be a proper Slayer and who better to teach them than the Chosen Ones?" Lita said to her friends.
"You got a point…"Katherine said.
"We would be the best choice…." Fae added.
"We'll do it!" the twins smiled.
"Be up and early tomorrow morning or else." Katherine said to the boys and turned to leave when Lita touched her arm.
"Hold up." She studied the group and said, "Aren't there five of you guys? I know you're Derrick, Marco, Lionel, and you're Jonathon, where's Ken?"
"Who's Ken?" Fae asked.
"A new recruit, according to Anya, the guy has been training himself for over a year since his old mentor died. Anya says he's great with a sword. A real natural with an old soul as Anya puts it." Lita explained.
"So why is here now?" Katherine asked.
"Anya said he had to run from his home because two vampires found him out and tried to kill him at his house. So he came here." She then rounded on the boys. "She also said that these other four were to be put to the test, as they are soft."
"Ah." The twins nodded. Katherine looked at her soon to be students and said, "So as Lita said 'where's Ken?'"
The boys looked at each other and smirked.
"Boys." They all flinched. "Where is Ken?"
"Oh…he's…um…stuck up in his room, working on an important project right now." Derrick stated, snickering.
Katherine looked at them suspiciously, causing the boys to squirm.
"You sure about that?" Fae asked. "Cause if not, our pet jell-o butterflies will cause harm."
The boys looked at the twins in confusion and alarm, and turned to Lita for guidance.
Lita just shook her head and winked at the boys with a reassuring smile "Come on, guys. No person should suffer the horrendous fate of being your butterflies' dinner. Besides you're scaring them."
The girls just shrugged and walked off leaving Lita with the boys.
"Don't worry about those two, guys. They may seem out there….which they are, but they're really cool and I can't wait to whip your butts into shape tomorrow." Lita said and hurried off to join her friends.
"Okaaaay. That was weird." Marco said. The other boys agreed. Suddenly they heard a door shattering upstairs and grinned.
"Looks like Ken got free." Lionel laughed.
Just then a boy with brown hair came running down the stairs, his eyes seemingly on fire.
"What's the big idea of gluing my door shut!" he shouted at the group.
"Cool it, dude. It was just a joke." Jonathon said hands up as he backed away from the angered boy.
"Yeah, we didn't mean anything by it. Just our way of welcoming the new guy." Lionel said, hoping the calm Ken down.
Ken smiled at them, the anger leaving him immediately. "I've been training for over a year now. Longer than any of you, I would hardly call that new."
"No, that wouldn't. But you're new to here. There's a difference." Marco grinned.
"Anyways, we're sorry about that, 'cause now you missed seeing the Chosen Ones Anya's been talking about. The twins are crazy! I swear to the Goddess! Lita is cool though, but a little scary about our training regime." Lionel shuddered.
The other boys nodded. "Seriously! I mean, wonder what we're gonna go through?" Jonathon wondered.
"Whatever it is, it'll be bad. I can already the aches of tomorrow." Marco gripped.
"Upside they're cute."
"Cute? Are you brain dead, Marco?" Derrick snapped, then turned to Ken. "Dude, they were HOT!"
Later…
The trio of Slayers returned, laughing and carrying tons of bags of clothing, the fruits of hours of serious shopping. Lita was walking backwards, talking to the twins, not noticing the group of boys in her way, when she crashed into a warm body that was soon on the ground.
"You just road killed Ken." Katherine stated eyes wide like a curious cat, head tilted to the side, studying the scene.
"How do you know it's Ken?" Fae asked her sister curiously, as if the accident wasn't really important.
"He's the only guy we haven't met." Katherine said dreamily, still in her kitty position.
"Good point." Fae nodded.
Meanwhile Ken had extracted himself from the floor and bags as Lita turned smiling saying just as Ken began his outburst:
"So! You're the infamous….
"What was the big idea…"
Then their eyes locked onto one another's in shock.
"MAKOTO!"
"SHINO!"
